What is the cheapest HDMI dock out there..?
Can provide link.
Thinking of setting 1 on my 24 inch monitor...

There's no "HDMI dock" only "a dock".
You will need a HDMI cable and also a power source (or just use the power brick for your switch). The Switch will dock via USB C.

Some common brand/models:
Coov SH500 / SH350
Melopow
Kacosata

On Amazon, Nyko dock. But this is known to blow out the USB-C port on the switch.

What the price of switch in singapore normally after all the discount cost?

i pondering to get a switch in singapore or from the States

during the 11.11 sale.
some of us bought the following

Switch
+1x Pro Controller
+3x AC Amiibo
+3x Games
for around $710++ (depending on the 3 games)

$710++
-$110 (Lazada 11.11 coupon)
-$150 (let's say you sell each game at $50)
-$30 (LiveUp Rebate 5%)
-$9 (Shopback 1.5% cashback)
= $411 (for a Switch + Pro Controller)

convert to USD (using 1.4 rate)
= US$294
That's basically the cost of a US Switch + a free Pro Controller

hard to say. many of us did not know about the Lazada sale either... it was probably more of a chance discovery by some of our more savvy bros here.

but fret not. just keep watching for Black Friday or the 12.12 sale and see how it goes.

NS50NEW for new users -$10, but i havent tried yet...

better to wait for codes on black friday i think.

Sh500 need the additional power from power adapter-5V. i guess USB-C charger alone not enough to power it up.

I bought my sh500 that comes with the h board i3 installed. I use a normal usb c cable and any available usb power source to power it up, such as tv usb, pc usb port.

Can charge or just keep it powered?

extra warranty will be only on the main unit bah? Check with Qisahn what they cover lor.
They joy cons are covered for 3 months only by Maxsoft. After that, it's "wear and tear, no coverage".
